Plant Sterols Plant Sterols Plant sterols are one of nature's wonder substances, providing benefits towards keeping our hearts healthy. They are found naturally in foods such as nuts, seeds, whole grain, vegetable oils, fruit and vegetables. The problem is we eat them in such small amounts we do not get the most out of their cholesterol lowering properties. It is believed that palt sterols help block cholesterol absorbtion through the gut. There are many plant sterol enriched spreads and yoghurt mini drinks on the market, which can provide a daily intake higher than an avarage months intake of fruit and vegetables. International dietary guidelines for managing cholesterol recommends eating 2g of plant sterols daily.
